He wants you to eat six times a day, which is fine if you have the time. The diet seemed restrictive though. It's high protein low carb. I am not into that whole low carb thing. It just doesn't work for me. Bill talks about certain foods that he " authorizes " which turned me off. He authorizes me to eat certain foods? Yikes. I think that one day a week is a free day where you eat whatever you want. That was kind of cool. The guy recommends that you buy his shakes, which are WAY expensive!! Then there's exercise plan! He says to do only 20 minutes of cardio three times a week. Tae-Bo would not fit into this plan at all! He puts an emphasis on weight training, which I liked. He demonstrates some really good exercises. But over all, it is not a plan I could stick to. I don't have the time to eat six small meals a day, even thought it is a good way to eat. I am not into the low carb thing. There is no way I am only going to do 20 minutes of cardio three times a week! He may have the answer to weight loss, who knows? But it isn't something I could stick to. And, I hate to say it, but the before and after pictures all look fake! who hopes no body for lifers are offended, I was just stating why this plan would not work for me.

Those before and after pictures do look a bit fake. Remember that link Barb sent to the list a month or so ago where a guy took a " before " and " after " pic of himself when there was only 4 minutes between each shot. Just the way he stood and flexed his msucles looked as if he lost mucho fat and gained muscle. I definitely don't trust any before or after pic (in an ad) after that! ~Kat, who doesn't think the Body of Life program is for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb who believes Tae-Bo is the only one with some *Before* pictures that are showing a tan cuz it wasn't planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they look like just absolutely different people...LOL! I agree that I wouldn't be able to stick to the plan because of the 20 minute cardio thing! I have the book, but I haven't gotten to the weight lifting plan yet! In fact, I really haven't gotten very far in it at all..LOL! I guess I should keep reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2000 Report Share Posted July 31, 2000 Snannon and , What book are y'all reading? ;-) F who was reading the Eat4Your Type which was sitting on my cousin's coffee table in harrisburg. Claims people of each blood type have different dietary needs and that by adhering to the proper food plan, one can boost vitality and immunity. I'd have to cut out half the foods I like, so I think I'll pass. > > > And, I hate to say it, but the > > before and after pictures all look fake! > > > , > > Yeah.....those photos look like TOTALLY different people!

Supposedly that this method works because you restrict so many foods that you end up eating less calories anyways... Not my idea of a balanced diet!! Janick who thinks that most diet fads are based on restriction in calories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 No offense taken...at all! LOL I'm Type B, and the author claims Bs have the most variety available to them of all the blood types. However, I wouldn't be able to eat wheat, barley, corn, avocado, lentil, black beans...tons of the stuff I like. So, unless I come down with some illness that compromises my immune system, I don't think I'll be trying it! ;-) F > Amybeth-who hopes she didn't offend but doesn't Believe in diets only > Tae-Bo so now yah know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
